(tap, tap) Is this thing on? We've had some fun research come out recently -- looking forward to posting on it here soon :-)

I like the recent push towards more explicit representations of the central nervous system in forward-dynamic musculoskeletal simulations. Here Veerkamp, van der Krogt, Carty, and team optimize reflex gains and supraspinal drive terms to understand toe walking: www.clinbiomech.com/article/S026...

Check out our preliminary human-in-the-loop optimization work for powered ankle prostheses. While our algorithm explicitly aimed to increase ankle angle symmetry (and was successful), it also reduced risk factors of hip and knee OA as a side effect. #biomech ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc...

The addbiomechanics.org tool is now citable! Article: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... Automatic model scaling for more accurate inverse kinematics and dynamics, in minutes. Fun collab led by Karen Liu, kicked off by a survey here :-) Much improved in past few months. Give it a try!

Illustration of addbiomechanics's role in the motion capture and data processing pipeline.

Automatic scaling by addbiomechanics takes just a few minutes, compared to about one day for an expert, and results in severalfold lower errors and residual forces and torques.

Hello, Bluesky! Stoked to get back to the forever-conference :-) I mostly post on research in biomechanics, wearable robots, human gait, motor learning, and related science. I avoid politics and science-free self-promotion. Looking forward to learning from you!
